My favorite type of art to create is three dimensional portraits. I use layers of wood, acrylic paint and custom frames to bring these pieces together.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from a pop art/ graphic style found in comic book illustration and traditional tattoo. I enjoy blending these genres to make bold, vibrant, one of a kind portraits.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to make my next collection of Gen X portraits.
